Pregnancy Massage
 Although my practice includes
many types of clients, pregnancy women have always made up a
portion of my clientele. My interest in women's health,
experience as a Doula, and continued study of Maya Abdominal
and Uterine Massage has given me an affinity for working with
expecting mothers. My awareness of the emotional, postural,
and physiological shifts that take place during pregnancy has
left my clients feeling grateful for the specificity of my
bodywork.
When working with pregnant women I use use a bolstering system that allows women to lie face down on the the massage table. It is comfortable and allows me great access to areas of the body that typically hold tension in pregnancy. I also can work in the sidelying postion.
In addition, I offer Labor Support Massage services. I can come to the hospital or to your home to help relieve the discomfort and anxiety that can be experienced in labor. In addition to massage, I may employ hydrotherapy and essential oils.

| 3-4 Hours: $350 |
| This fee takes into account that I will be on-
call from 10 days before to 10 days after your
due date and includes a 30 minute "intake"
process where we discuss the role I will play
and modalities I will employ at your birth. |
We are fortunate in the Ithaca
community to have a lot of choice and support for families
that are expecting. I have supported many such families as
they prepare for birth and in the labor and delivery of their
baby.
